Did you know that scrapbook paper makes for wonderful dollhouse wallpapers? I went to A.C. Moore, Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, and Micheal's and stocked up on the most beautiful papers! (I also purchased some "Yes" paste because this is the best adhesive for applying the scrapbook paper to the walls.)
Wait, let me back up. I know it's been quite a while since I've last blogged or worked on my dollhouses. Well, this past weekend I stayed up all night Friday night and worked on the Thornhill. I needed some prayer time and did so while working on this mini mansion! I was talking to God, measuring and cutting "wallpaper" and before I knew it, the sun was up!
I've decided to turn this Thornhill into a modern miniature home. It will have all of the "bells and whistles" that none of my other mini estates have (i.e., a working television, a working ceiling fan, and a working clock). Plus, it will be decorated in vibrant colors that compliment a more contemporary lifestyle.
I can't wait to start on the crown molding, chair rails, and baseboards. I'm excited about color schemes for the rooms and have even decided to "bash" some of my furniture kits to see if I can make some modern furniture! (I would say, "Wish me luck" with making my own modern furniture; but I don't need luck because I have GOD.) And if you don't believe me, just read it for yourself:
Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
So, with a little bit of glue, a Dremel, some sandpaper, and My Helper (Jesus), watch me turn a few dollhouse furniture kits into modern masterpieces!!
God bless and see you all soon!
